I have to fight

I was diagnosed with MS in 2007. From the day forward I have refused to let it ru left me. Does that mean I don't experience any of the symptoms that others do? No I just can not let it stop me. I have tingling and numbness 24/7 365 days or 366 if it's a leap year. I get overwhelmed at work if there is too much going on and there is no plan. I have to have a plan where I leave things because I can forget within seconds where I put things, my son can attest to the times I blamed him for moving things when he didn't, sorry sweetie. But I have learned that exercise, especially strength training, and eating healthy has helped me to live a stable life with this disease. My faith in God, knowing that he will bring me through this for his glory and that some how and in some way I will help someone else is what I stand on. Do I know what will happen? No. But I must live my life to the fullest no matter what.
